Renee tightened her grip on the cell phone and remained calm.

Ever since her childhood, she had heard too much of such abuse.

The only person in the Fanning Family who defended her was Jack. Therefore, she went to send an umbrella to him in the pouring rain after he claimed that he forgot to bring one and drank his water last night without the slightest hesitation.

It turned out...

Renee clenched her teeth to fight back her tears.

She grew up in an orphanage, and only Frank Holt, who was two years older, was protective of her. She wanted a home and a warm haven.

On a whim, she left the orphanage and went to the Fannings' house.

Turned out... her life became more miserable, and she lost Frank...

"Bitch, speak! Should you do such a thing as seducing your foster father and having him beaten up! Why wouldn't you die?" Myla clamored from the other end.

"Myla, are you done? I should hang up..." Renee remained composed.

"Hey!"

Renee felt her palm empty. Her phone was snatched away.

As soon as she turned around, she ran into a solid chest. Before she could react, a chilling voice came from above her head.

"Bitch! Who are you cursing? I'm gonna kill you! I'll make the Fanning Family disappear from S City tonight! Get lost!" Out of anger, the blue veins were popping up on Zack's forehead.

"Thud!"

Under a fit of passion, he smashed Renee's cell phone to the marble floor. It shattered and scattered around.

The man's voice was icy, and his temper was so grumpy that Renee couldn't help cowering in his arms.

Feeling his heaving chest, she wanted to steer clear, but her body stiffened completely.

All of a sudden, her chin was lifted by the man rudely, and he pinched it forcefully. Grumpily he snarled, "Are you a saint? You bear with her curse! You are Zack Wright's woman, who the hell dares to curse you!"

"... Ouch..." Renee's clear eyes were brimming with tears. The man exerted so much strength that she felt her chin was going to fall off.

In his eruption, Zack's chest was still heaving. When he heard her aggrieved voice and saw her tearful eyes, he instantly loosened his grip.

"She was cursing me. You..." Said Renee faintly.

"She was cursing you! But I don't allow any negative comments about my things, be it a toy or a dog! Whoever dares to do it, I'm gonna kill him!" Zack cut her short brusquely and pointed at her nose tyrannically.

"Renee, listen up! If that bitch curses you again and you don't curse back, I'm gonna kill you!" Zack shot a disdainful look at Renee.

He turned away and slammed the door shut.

As soon as he came out of the bedroom, he fished out his cell phone and snarled, "Send our men to smash the property of the Fanning Family!"

"... Yes, Boss!" Confounded, Dave had to respond respectfully.

Dave was already used to Zack's grumpy temper. After hanging up, he immediately went to carry out his order.

Zack looked at the on-hook phone, and his five fingers slightly tightened.

Wait.

What was he doing?

Standing up for Renee?

He got her back to torture her and retaliate against her. Why would he stand up for her?

Shouldn't he be happy to see the Fanning Family bullying her?

What was he mad for?
